Multimedia Message MMS
(MMS message type, MMS message format)

Introduction

Ozeki NG SMS Gateway can be used to send MMS messages. Each MMS
message contains a text part and several attachments. Attachments can contain
audio, video, applications, presentation files and text content. A detailed list
of available message types for MMS messages can be found in the
MMS content
format list. To send MMS messages with Ozeki NG, all you have to do is
specify "MMS:XML" as the message type and prepare an XML file that contains
the message attachments. You can use all the methods you have used for SMS
messaging.

Sending an MMS message

To send an MMS messages from the built in user interface,
you need to copy the attachments to your hard disk, and you need to specify
the full path pointing to them in the MMS composer form (Figure 1).

Figure 1 - MMS attachments with full path.

To send an MMS message from an API, you have to copy the
attachments to the server in a directory, then you have to build an
XML file, that points to the attachments. This XML should be pasted into
the messagedata field of the message and you need to use the "MMS:XML"
message type. For example if you use the database user to send MMS
messages from a database you would use the following SQL Insert statement
to send you MMS messages:

Please note the double back slash in the file path of the
MMS attachments. This might be necessary when you insert the data into your
SQL database
server because a single back slash might be treated as an escape character!
